UK, Ireland / Brit Youths Protest Anti-Gay Poland [114]

I also worked with gay men and they are really fun to be around.

Fun? Ok, I don't mind if anyone is gay, but I dislike over the top flamboyancy. It's sickening to watch some man over acting.

Life / How are Poles generally viewed outside Poland by other nations? [84]

? Did I mis sth? I just don't always use basic words. Grown-ups say difficult :)

Anyhoo.... this has nothing to do with me. I'm not Polish :) I'm Native American. Nothing to prove here.

.....lol wow never had to try to defend myself not being Polish :) Maybe it's all of the tips I leave LOL

Just tell John to be nice and maybe he can come work for me in the US.

Law / Old Polish zloty banknote, currency exchange in Poland [18]

I never knew that 1 zl was once paper. The are design on some of these is fantastic! Way ahead of time with the water mark. I thought that was new to currency and to see it on a bill from the 20's is crazy.

I also collect the commemorative 2zl pieces which are prob worth nothing yet.

No need to be defensive Fisz. I guess you carry an American passport but you still feel Polish.

Actually, I'm an American.

It's fine with me but if you're an American you should know how most of Americans feel about Poles maybe with the exception of Chicago where you're probably come from.

I come from NY and NJ. We love the polish here. Everyone does. They're great people and always welcome.

Many people on this Polish forum crack on Americans and this is OK

To who? I don't think it's ok and I will give my opinion. As humand we all shoud have a common respect...forum or not.

Law / Old Polish zloty banknote, currency exchange in Poland [18]

Merged: Old Polish Złotych - are they worth any money?

I have a few bills from 1921-1938 in various denominations from the 1 zl bill to the 1938 1-200 zl. All are in very good condition. Are any of these worth money?

In America, older currency can be valuable. Is this also true with PL currency?

Life / How are Poles generally viewed outside Poland by other nations? [84]

pretty much normal

To whom? I don't see many doing it. Just the few bitter blokes we see every so often in here.

Respect ain't got jack to do with making comments on forums

Au contraire John..... to be respected and not "cracked" on you must first have to display the same courtesy :) However, he did not.

Polaks are viewed at no common sense.

To whom? I've never heard this before.... do you live in the boonies or something? Maybe Pensyltucky?

just don't like you guys cracking on John just because he spoke out his mind

Ok, maybe you're John.

I believe in expressing your opinion, but you don't have to act like a child by calling names and degrading people. If you agree then you're just as bad. You don't say things like "i think you and the rest of the poles are ueducated labouring bafoons" or for trash look closer to home".

These just sound like childish opinions form 1 person with no backing.

Spoken EnglishYour grammar you can stick up your butt when you visit English language countries. What you're learning at your schools is a school English. None is speaking this language and this is why you guys got so many problems to understand us speaking when you arrive to UK or US

They don't have a problem in the US. We speak clearly enough :)

Actually it's obvious he's not, the way he puts his words together.

Ok, so you're giving him a difficult time because of the way he places his words? Maybe he's not the racist then......

I don't think Espana is English.

UK, Ireland / English people attitude towards Poles? [761]

scheming or kombinowac is not always bad. it can be good.

If you're in a fix and are trying to get out of it , kombinowac
If you're thinking about how to work something out , kombinowac
If you're up to no good, kombinowac
If you're thinking or studying, kombinowac

LOL what's the literal meaning?

Love / Foreigner's opinion about polish ladies [304]

the correct spelling of the word is judgment, not judgement

Judg e ment is also used in other places :)

it made me think, if this 'stereotype' (?) is really that popular among foreigners that s why i initiated this thread;)

All of these negative stereotypes about PL women don't exist in my part of America. We like all PL :)

USA, Canada / My personal (Polish) view on USA. [105]

ok, but who doesn't spend some of their money after taking care of bills?

I do see your points Witek and I don't want to seem like I'm attacking you, but you give others a bad impression when in fact not everyone lives like this.

USA, Canada / My personal (Polish) view on USA. [105]

the illegal immigrants work much harder than Americans this is why they can afford to buy a new car and houses for cash.

Witek...You always seem to state false facts about America. Anyone who works for cash doesn't get taxes taken out and ends up with a higher weekly pay. I've done this and I still do and I'm not an illegal. Many people do work on the side for extra spend money. Like I said, you can't tell people about America without living here..and 2 years doesn't count.

He used his Police salary to buy and renovate a home which he then flipped for a $200,000 profit in a year's time.

This is a good way to make $ and honest. He's being a smart :)

The ones who can afford new cars and toys are the illegal immigrants who come to this country, work and don't pay taxes

No, they send the $$ home. I never see mexicans in 6 figure cars. They pimp out their bicycles and lowriders :)

disposable income

Did you just make this word up? What is disposable income? Any smart people save money and work hard. You can't say most of us live pay check to pay check. Some of us do get paid more than others you know :)

I do agree with the CC abuse. Too many Americans fall for these stupid CC companies that have 20% APR and end up not being able to pay more than the minimum and end up going deep into debt. It's sad but you can't say this about most people. It depends on where you are in America...it's a huge country Witek :)
